He Thinks... Poem by NAYYAR SHABBIR AHMAD

Any decision he makes is picture perfect. Whereas, those around him don’t know anything. So, on any given day he can be heard ranting and raving about - often - the most trivial of things.

After bellowing and blaring his views all over the place, he is guaranteed to tell his wife - usually the brunt of his angst - that she must do whatever she likes.

Being, wise, generous, and ever ready to compromise she back pedals just enough to keep him satisfied that he, and, only he is, indeed-perfectly right. And, nobody else, is!


I blame her, ofcourse
fair and square
I blame her
for this sorry state of affairs

Had she kept him in his place
from day one
he wouldn’t be misbehaving this way
today!
